Sheung Kee Delicacy

Sheung Kee Delicacy Restaurant is awesome. So awesome, that I probably don’t need to write anything else in this review. Nah, let me tell you more about it.
Sheung Kee Delicacy Restaurant is located in the Happy Valley cooked food market. Like most dai pai dong cooked food markets, it is a possibly less than sanitary cluster of communal tables surrounded by individual kitchens. However, if you stick to my two rules of; number one, always rinse the cutlery, and number two; never look in the kitchen, you’ll find the food here absolutely excellent.
Luckily, the last time I visited, we had a large group of twenty, which means we can have a good range of dishes and try many different flavours. However, with this large group, the McDonald’s style bolted down tables for four didn’t quite work, so the restaurant had to improvise by putting large boards on top of these tables and surrounding them with stools. Yes, classy I know.
Dishes worth a particular mention include the clams with black beans sauce, the scallops with garlic and rice noodles, the garlic roasted chicken, and the sweet and sour pork. In fact, the sweet and sour all at Sheung Kee is probably the best sweet and sour pork that I’ve had in Hong Kong.
Amazingly, we had approximately 20 dishes for 20 people, so one dish each, and a copious amounts of Blue Girl beer, and yet the bill still only came out at around HK$ 150 per person.
The staff, despite speaking very little English, were brilliant. Then made sure to stop us from ordering too much, and also made excellent suggestions when we started to order dishes that were too similar. I’m a big fan of this place. I recommend that you get that as soon as you can for a good feed.
